Front Washer Jets Not Working!!

Hello,

I'm experiencing some issues with my front washer jets not working on my 2008 Mini Cooper.

Basically they were working fine one day and the next day I'm only getting a drizzle out of them!

The Back one seems fine and I've checked for blockages and that the water tanks is full.

I don't understand why they work but with such a small amount of water (only just makes the bottom of the windscreen!

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

Frozen pipes maybe?

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thankfully I've managed to find the cause of this issue.

Two weeks ago I had the front windscreen replaced as it had cracked, it turns out that when doing this they had managed to crush the pipe feeding the wipers which was causing the issue.

Its therefore now all resolved and working as it should!

Thanks,
Michael
